Well, just downloaded The Doctor Who Cloned Me, and it seems like Gearbox ironed out all technical issues. Now, it doesn't have the half-pixilated look that many of the textures used to have, and the blood flickering has also been fixed. Now it looks just as good as the PC version.

Duke Nukem Forever only came out to give closure to the whole Development Hell fiasco...
And it actually turned out pretty good for what it's worth. No, not perfect, but you know what? I don't care if it's not perfect. I don't care if you think I'm dumb for liking it. All I care about is that I played Duke Nukem Forever, and had fun. The NPC animations vary from "Lifeless" to "Horrendous". The graphical technology is dated. The two-weapon swap does not fit Duke Nukem, even though I didn't mind it. Duke Nukem himself doesn't talk as much as an obnoxious badass should in all honesty. He lets everyone else have a word in, and says one non-sarcastic line that doesn't affect the conversation at all.
On the other hand...
Most of the NP Cs die noticeably (And suspiciously) horrible deaths anyway, so Triptych is seems to be capable of Self Deprecation. The recent update has improved texture quality tremendously (On PC). Triptych heard us complain about the weapon limit, so what do they do? They give us 4 weapons like a boss and now the game is amazingly fun. When Duke does talk, it's usually pretty funny or at least worth a smirk. Also, the sheer variety in the levels is astounding. Let me put it this way. One of the early levels has you fighting through the war torn ruins of Las Vegas. 5 or 6 levels later you're shrunk down to action figure size and are navigating your way through a Duke Burger restaurant.
The boss fights actually feel like bosses. Big-ass enemies that you can blow to shit, but can tear you down in a second if you don't know what you're doing. Also, to the whole "Blah blah blah you have to take cover, blah" bollocks. Firstly, I just dare you to try and play most of DN 3 D's levels on "Come Get Some" without taking the least bit of cover. Secondly, the regenerating EGO/Health bar actually made it easier to stay out in the open, because your health comes back no matter what.
There is more that I could say about the game, there really is. But the word limit and tight cap on spoilers here makes it hard for me to describe what I love about the game so much. But really, this is not a game that you should blow off because of critics. 3DR gave 14 years of their lives away to make this game. The least you could do is try it out for yourself. On PC, though, because the console ports...yeah (May change when the consoles get their updates).
